📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Caen and RED Star FC 93 finished level at 1-1 at Stade Michel d'Ornano, Regular Season - 33, in the Ligue 2. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Caen 1.17 xG and RED Star FC 93 1.38 xG, a combined 2.55. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Caen attack 0.72 / defence 1.31 against RED Star FC 93 attack 0.97 / defence 1.16, drawn from 70/32 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Caen 32% | Draw 26% | RED Star FC 93 42%, with RED Star FC 93 to win its most likely call at 42%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
